lirik lagu aj mcloughlin - elvis

[verse 1]
white jumpsuit dreams in a world so black
grew up with ghosts and a needle in the track
mama played vinyl while the sky turned red
i found god in the speakers and the sh~t he said
“if i can dream” in the dark, no plan
but i held that hope like a motherf~ckin’ man
whole world tryna k!ll what they don’t control
but i sing from the scar and i rap from the soul
elvis in my veins, hips swing with pain
they love you loud — then they curse your name
i ain’t no clone of a legend, nah, this real
but i see that same weight in the sh~t i feel
they told me smile, but i grit my t~~th
thеy told me dance, but i cracked concrеte
pop pills just to mute the noise
still feel like a king in a world of toys
they sold his face, made a brand from grief
and now i spit fire for the ones beneath
he died with a crown in a graceland bed
and i’m alive with a curse in my f~ckin’ head
you ever cry to a man you never met?
like, “elvis, how the f~ck did you live with regret?”
they told him sing clean, but he bled all blue
taught me more than the teachers ever knew
so i channel that pain, that golden ache
and i break every rule just to see what breaks
they don’t want truth, they want tiktok gloss
they want elvis dead — not elvis lost
[verse 2]
you ever feel too much in a silent room?
like the ghosts tap glass when you chase that boom
i see flashbulbs, pressure, velvet ropes
but i’m out here choking on the weight of hope
i ain’t here to be safe, i ain’t playin’ it cute
i’m that white boy screaming with a mic and a suit
they said i’m too loud, too raw, too blunt
but i’m channeling elvis when i go on a hunt
he ain’t perfect, man, he had his flaws
but he stood on stage with a godd~mn cause
if i can dream of a better day
then i’ll rap like it’s fire and i’ll burn my way
all these labels wanna clip your wings
then cry fake tears when a real one sings
but i ain’t no puppet with a pre~set verse
i got a war in my chest and a rebel’s curse
they told me tone it down — i said f~ck that note
i’ma howl like the king ‘til my f~ckin’ throat broke
all these blue suede nights, all these neon lies
i’ve walked through pain with blood in my eyes
i ain’t elvis, but i get that weight
he made art from hurt, i relate to fate
he was love and rage, gold and dust
a church boy lost in the jaws of l~st
so if you see me on stage with a tear in my grin
know i’m just tryna fight like he fought within
[verse 3]
they don’t build ’em like presley no more
now it’s fast fame, fake love, cl!ckbait wh0res
but i remember black hair, southern drawl
a boy from nothin’ who stood too tall
you hear the gospel in his f~ckin’ cry?
that’s soul in motion, that’s do or die
i got “trouble” on loop in my mental frame
i’m takin’ every punch, but i keep my name
i ain’t tryna be the next big trend
i’m tryna be the voice that don’t pretend
elvis walked in a world too slow
so he danced like sin with a holy glow
i do the same with a pen and beat
bleed my truth over snares and heat
this ain’t music — it’s a f~ckin’ stand
it’s dirt under nails, not a label’s brand
i’m more memphis than manhattan dreams
more sun studio than corporate schemes
i keep that king in my penstroke fire
every verse i spit, i’m buildin’ higher
y’all want clean? go play a clone
this right here’s for the broken throne
this is for the kid who ain’t fit the mold
but got that burn that don’t go cold
so light me up like a vegas sign
and i’ll sing that pain ’til the stars align
[outro]
long live the ghost with the silver scream
long live the fire in a broken dream
long live the boy with the lightning eyes
still singing loud while the bullsh~t dies
and if i can dream, then i’ll keep the fight
like elvis with a mic in the dead of night
so play my voice in a cadillac ride
and know i did this sh~t with a king by my side
